If you are facing foreclosure, there may be strategies available to help
you avoid worst-case scenarios. There are many alternatives and defenses
to foreclosure, but determining which course of action is best for your
personal circumstances may be difficult. Our firm can offer the resolution
that you need after a season of financial hardship and stress.

As counselors at law, it is not our job to judge how you got into your
current financial situation. Rather, we need to understand where you want
to be. Most people want to return to the stability and security they enjoy.
With the help of a Massachusetts foreclosure defense lawyer at
Glenn F. Russell, Jr. & Associates, P.C., you could reestablish your life of financial stability.

Refinance & Loan Modification Programs

Depending on what is in your best interests, we can determine a plan of
action that can help you stay in your home. This could include a loan
modification or mortgage refinance negotiation. Government and lender
programs that allow flexibility in loan or mortgage payments exist to
benefit individuals who are experiencing financial hardship. Programs include:

Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP)

Homeowners who cannot qualify for a refinance program can try to negotiate
a mortgage refinance plan through HARP.

HARP is not beneficial for all homeowners, but can be of great use for
homeowners who have experienced any of the following:

Have little to no equity value in the home

Have the financial ability to afford new payments on a mortgage

Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP)

HAMP can provide relief for homeowners who are several months behind on
their mortgages, are in the midst of the foreclosure process, or fear
the foreclosure process may be a possibility.

HAMP allows homeowners to modify their loans to lower rates. Homeowners
can be eligible for HAMP if they:

Currently have a loan to modify

Took out a mortgage before January 1, 2009

Currently and primarily live in the property

Are behind on a mortgage or are about to default due to financial hardship
